subject: Laptop Ac Adapter: Victim Of Heat [print this page] After each summer solstice, there are always a lot of unfortunate fever victims of the notebook, especially those enthusiast gamers who have been working night and day in the gaming world. My neighbors HP 381090-001 AC Adapter got burned. According to some research, it shows that the main reason is the heat. The heat burned the key components inside the computer. If you find that your computer has the following symptoms, you need to be aware of.
Symptoms 1: computer crashes without prediction.
Symptoms 2: burnt smell. My neighbors 381090-001 AC Adapter is the same case. Thus he didnt take notice of it. So it went to hell.
Symptoms 3: The system slows down for no reason.
So how can we prevent heat stroke of the computer?
As the notebook ventilation openings distribute on the base of the laptop. Therefore, we must focus on the heat dissipation of the laptop bottom. Here are two ways to solve this condition:
on the one hand, the hardware cooling method. You can buy a notebook cooling base and install it on the bottom of laptop. And this can help heat dissipation. Such base is with aluminum, iron or plastic. The best should be aluminum alloy, because of its best thermal performance. Its generally around $7 or so, while iron and plastic are cheaper than aluminum. Its very effective to reduce the heat of laptop.
On the other hand, there is a cheaper way to use software cooling method. If you do not want to spend money on purchasing a professional heat dissipation base, then this is money saving method to cool your laptop.
1) Lay your laptop in glass or metal ground while using it, because they have good thermal conductivity.
2) Do not open more than one procedure at the same time, especially leave them alone.
3) Install the CPU cooling software. Formal Web site has a this kind of software to download.
4) Do not charge battery while using it. While the battery is charging, the heat of laptop itself will rise as that of the battery.
5) Do not to use the notebook on the knees. That will block the outlet of the laptop and the heat dissipation, let alone the harm to your health.
